It really doesn't matter what kind of bread you have in the freezer – whether it's sourdough, wholemeal or white – an Italian bread salad, called panzanella, is the perfect recipe for it. The bread is re-baked in olive oil, then soaked with more oil, red wine vinegar, tomatoes and peppers. You can add whatever Mediterranean-style ingredients you have to hand. It's a great barbecue side dish too.
